Volume Three Famous Beilu County Chapter 279 The Past of the Floating World
The next morning, the new emperor left with his people.
She was destined not to stay here for long, and being able to stay for just one day was already a great luxury.
Next stop, Xintei plans to go to the Black Mist Ruins.
After some investigation there, we started to return to Jingzhao Mansion.
Before parting, Master Xu came to Lu Jiuzhang's house and left three words for Lu Jiuzhang.
These three characters are all powerful weapons for killing big monsters.
During the chat, Master Xu also learned from Lu Jiuzhang that one of his magic weapons was taken away by the third elder of the royal family.
In front of Lu Jiuzhang, Master Xu personally promised that he would get it back for Lu Jiuzhang.
Then, master and disciple parted!
I don’t know when we will meet again.
…
After sending Master Xu and the new emperor away, Lu Jiuzhang went to Qianji Tower.
After the new emperor left, the control of Beilu County was also relaxed.
For a time, the bustle of the market was restored again.
When he entered the lobby, the servants were all busy and no one came to entertain Lu Jiuzhang.
After waiting for a while, Lu Jiuzhang had to find a boy and asked him to go and report to the head of Zhao Yuru in Qianji Tower.
After a while, Zhao Yuru did not come.
The person who came here was the shopkeeper of Qianjilou.
He is the highest-level shopkeeper of all the Qianji Towers in the entire Beilu County, and he has great authority at his disposal.
"Director Lu, you are fine!"
The shopkeeper bowed his hands.
"Sorry to bother the shopkeeper, I want to see Miss Zhao Yuru. I wonder if the shopkeeper can let me know?" Lu Jiuzhang said with cupped hands.
"I'm afraid Director Lu will be disappointed. Yuru was recalled to Jingzhao Mansion yesterday."
The shopkeeper glanced at Lu Jiuzhang.
Yesterday, Lu Jiuzhang made a treasonous act in front of the new emperor.
How dare the Zhao family let Zhao Yuru and Lu Jiuzhang come into contact?
If something goes wrong, the Zhao family cannot afford it.
Especially the other eleven families, once they find out, they may unite to squeeze out the Zhao family.
Once the Zhao family falls, these eleven families can share all the assets of the Zhao family.
Recalling Zhao Yuru was also for the sake of the Zhao family.
When he said this, Lu Jiuzhang actually understood.
"Thank you, the shopkeeper, for informing me!"
After that, Lu Jiuzhang walked outside.
Throughout the whole day today, Lu Jiuzhang seemed to have disappeared from Beilu County.
In Anxi Mansion, Lu Jiuzhang met Wang Yunshan and Zhou Cheng who had a broken arm.
The two of them are still in the Demon Slaying Division of Fucheng.
The speed of cultivation is too slow and cannot keep up with Lu Jiuzhang's pace.
They can only stay.
Lu Jiuzhang will encounter more and more dangers in the future. In Anxi Mansion, at least the safety of the two of them can be guaranteed.
After chatting for a while and leaving some cultivation resources for the two of them, Lu Jiuzhang came to the small courtyard where he once lived in Anxi Mansion.
There is no need to keep this small courtyard.
I asked someone to sell the land in the small courtyard for the price.
After that, Lu Jiuzhang hurriedly returned to Changshui County.
He first paid homage in front of his eldest brother's grave.
The eldest brother's great revenge was avenged, and Lu Jiuzhang's worries came to an end.
Then, he returned to his courtyard.
Since Lu Jiuzhang left, no one dared to touch this house.
You know, Lu Jiuzhang was a big shot in the county and he also studied under Xu Shi, a great scholar.
It can be said that Lu Jiuzhang is the strongest person in Changshui County since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty.
A new county magistrate has been appointed in Changshui County. Although there are some problems, it is much better than the Wang County Magistrate when Lu Jiuzhang was there.
Look back at the courtyard where you live.
Lu Jiuzhang was still a little reluctant to give up.
In the past, he would lie on the deck chair in the courtyard and read a book.
The eldest brother, Lu Huaigu, spent the whole day having fun and drinking. Occasionally when he came back late, he would throw the packed meals on the table and tell Lu Jiuzhang to heat them up and eat them, so as not to spoil them.
If it's winter and the temperature is extremely low, it won't be a problem to keep this meal for three or four days.
But if it's summer, those meals may smell bad all night long.
There is a well next to the courtyard, and the water in it is sweet and delicious.
Lu Jiuzhang picked up a bucket of water, scooped out a ladle of water and drank it.
The water is still the same as before, but Lu Jiuzhang is no longer the same Lu Jiuzhang.
The courtyard was spotless and it looked like it was being cleaned regularly.
Needless to say, it must be that girl opposite Zhao Chaner.
However, Lu Jiuzhang did not go to see her.
When leaving, Lu Jiuzhang took out one hundred taels of silver from his pocket and put it in a small bag.
By chance, the window of Zhao Chaner's house opened at this time.
Lu Jiuzhang simply threw the silver out, and then he used [Close to the End of the World] to leave Changshui County.
If you really want to keep it, Lu Jiuzhang can get it not to mention one hundred taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels or even one million taels.
But money moves people’s hearts!
Too much money may lead to death.
"Mother, mother!"
Inside the house, Zhao Chaner screamed in surprise.
It was stuffy in the room just now, so she opened the window a little, and a package of things flew in.
Unexpectedly, when I opened it, there was actually a lot of white money inside.
Zhao Chaner was so excited.
Aunt Zhao hurried over, looked at Zhao Chan'er's money, and then looked at the window, "Nizi, he's back."
"Who's back? Brother Lu?"
Zhao Chaner reacted and rushed to Lu Jiuzhang's house.
The huge house has become empty.
But there were still a few drops of water dripping from the well.
The temperature in Changshui County is extremely low, and water turns into ice crystals instantly after falling.
Everything proves that someone has been here just now.
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu!"
Zhao Chaner shouted.
She rushed out the door frantically, but Lu Jiuzhang was nowhere to be seen.
Afterwards, Zhao Chaner left the city and went straight to Lu Huaigu's cemetery, only to find that the cemetery had been repaired and some tributes had been placed.
There is still a slight smell of wine on the ground, so it's time to use wine to worship.
Zhao Chaner is sure that Lu Jiuzhang is back.
But he... he seems to be gone again.
Zhao Chaner was at a loss.
Behind him was Aunt Zhao.
Seeing the lost Zhao Chan'er, Aunt Zhao felt a little uncomfortable.
It has only been half a year, and my daughter has obviously lost a lot of weight.
"Nizi, some people are destined to cross the Dragon Gate, and we are just ordinary people." Aunt Zhao said slowly, "You should just accept your fate, there is no need to wait any longer."
"Two days ago, a matchmaker came to propose marriage. It was Butcher Zhang from the east end of the town. Although his son looks big, thick and fierce, the Zhang family is rich. You don't need to celebrate the holidays, you can eat meat on ordinary days."
"By marrying Butcher Zhang, your father and I will have someone to rely on when we get old, don't you think?"
Aunt Zhao persuaded her earnestly.
But Zhao Chaner did not reply.
She didn't want to accept her fate, but it seemed like there was nothing she could do if she didn't accept her fate.
Those past and memories seemed to be getting further and further away from her, as if they were a world apart...
